assuming those bozos from Nokia still read it - otherwise i'm wasting my time.

(n800 user, know nothing about n810)

KEEP

- speakers. I own iPod classic but find myself using n800 more and more because of built-in surprisingly good stereo speakers. Any degrading of this - totally count me out as a potential buyer

- two memory cards slots

- built quality. is good

- FM radio

- stand

- form factor, fine by me

UPGRADE

- CPU. The current is laughable by modern standards. Needs to be able to play video full screen resolution, h264 preferable.

- screen. this device needs to work outdoors, n800 is way too dim for that. Seriously consider going with OLED technology. current size, resolution OK

- the touch-screen technology. N800/810 is grossly inferior compared to iPod.

- buttons in n800 were extremely poorly thought out, placement, tactile recognition, etc. One needs to be able to operate in total darkness and comfortably so. Hire some ergonomics experts to help you here

- power plug. n800 power supply is radiculous, its plug that is, way too small, way too fragile, a minor tug and the plug is gone.

- software and drastically so. Given Nokia software competence we may as well forget it.

- camera to something on iPod level at least as the current device is grossly radiculous.

PROVIDE


- USB (pseudo) charging

- working GPS would be nice

- dockability (power, video/audio out) ?

- ability to buy spare parts, styli, cases, headsets, etc.
